They’re fending off famine Local services stretching to help a fast-growing flock JILLIAN WARD The World
SOUTH COAST — “I feel like Santa Claus,” says Scott Cooper. Cooper, executive director of Alternative Youth Activities (AYA), a nonprofit group and private school for youth throughout the South Coast as well as adjudicated youth, is working hard to keep his students and their families fed during the coronavirus pandemic. Two weeks ago, the Oregon Food Bank increased the ability of local pantries to hand out food to people living below 300% of the federal poverty line. For Cooper, that means more students and families can stay fed during this economic plunge. “It started off with making sure our students had food,” he said. “We deal with a lot of homeless children and generational poverty, so it started out with giving food boxes rather than just a meal at lunchtime.” Somewhat like Santa, Cooper

Shutter Creek transfers stopped ZACH SILVA The World
LAKESIDE — Adult in Custody Transfers coming into Shutter Creek Correctional Institution were halted April 7, according to the Oregon Department of Corrections. “This aligns with our tiered approach for the treatment and prevention of COVID. Only transfers for medical/life saving measures, and statutory requirements,” said DOC communications manager Jennifer Black in an email to The World. Transfers into the state mini-
mum security facility had been a point of contention in the past week after an individual tested positive for the novel coronavirus last Thursday. The adult in custody who tested positive, and was taken to a different facility, transferred in on March 11. According to Black, 30 adults in custody transferred into Shutter Creek in the last month. “These transfers were all associated with releases to the community or part of the intake process for placing new (adults in custody),” Black wrote, noting that precautions are in
place. “As part of the existing transfer process, all (adults in custody) are medically screened prior to leaving the facility. This practice is still being followed.” Shutter Creek received a negative test back from an adult in custody earlier this week and are awaiting the results of a few other tests, including one for an employee. “The situation with a congregate setting, whenever there is a positive test, there are a lot of actions and protocols … centered around the idea that everyone is potentially infected,” said Brian Leon, an epidemiologist
with Coos Health and Wellness last week. “We know that’s not the case but we certainly look at any particular person that’s been in the building lately as a potential case.” Leon and a team from Coos Health and Wellness are currently investigating how the virus made its way to Shutter Creek. Around the state, Santiam Correctional Institution has confirmed six employees and four adults in custody have contracted the virus while four employees at the Oregon State Penitentiary tested positive.
Pelican Harbor Food Bank returns to help a struggling community AMANDA LINARES The World
NORTH BEND — Pelican Harbor Food Bank has not only returned to the area, but already helped feed over 800 families in the past week. The independent food bank’s co-founder, Laurel Broman, said she can’t recall ever seeing this many people show up. And she has participated in the monthly giveaways for over 15 years. Pelican Harbor reopened this month and hosted four different food giveaways so far as a way to help residents struggling through the coronavirus-driven recession. And on Thursday, the food bank’s volunteers handed out thousands of pounds of food to hundreds of families impacted by the pandemic. The food bank’s commercial truck, which usually holds 43,000 pounds of food, stood in the parking lot of the Pony Village Mall near volunteers as they handed out items. From April 1 to 8, the food bank has so far received over 100,000 pounds of food. According to Broman, more than 800 people showed up last Thursday

Bandon murders
Cause of death released COOS COUNTY — The autopsies of the bodies of Jasmine Moon and Michael Lambert were completed Wednesday afternoon, according to a press release from Coos County District Attorney R. Paul Frasier. Moon and Lambert died following a shooting and stabbing that occurred early Saturday morning at a residence just north of Bandon. Lambert, 55, suffered a gun shot wound to the neck, which was not a fatal wound, Frasier wrote. However he suffered multiple stab wounds to the back and neck. Several of the stab wounds to the back pierced his left lung, causing massive internal bleeding, leading to his death. Moon, 28, suffered multiple gun shot wounds to her torso, resulting in fatal injuries to her lungs and heart. On Saturday at approximately 6:36 a.m. a 911 call was received by the Coos County 911 Center in Coquille, where police learned that a male adult was reporting that he had been shot and stabbed. The individual who reported that he had been attacked was identified as Michael Ray Lambert, who had reportedly gone to a neighbor’s house to report his injuries, saying he had been attacked in his residence located at 88577 Weiss Estates, an unincorporated area of the the county just north of the city of Bandon. Lambert was transported to Bay Area Hospital where he underwent emergency surgery but later that day died of his injuries. Police discovered the body of Jasmine Mae Moon at Lambert’s residence, who had died by means of homicidal violence. Later in the afternoon, police arrested Ashley Margaret Webber, 33, who had been staying at the Weiss Estates Please see Homicide, Page A7

Distance learning takes hold ZACH SILVA The World
NORTH BEND — The question of the day: Would you rather fly or be invisible? Dana Mohn’s fifth grade class at North Bay Elementary was split on their answers. Some students wanted the former option to get above the clouds while others chose the latter so they could be a hideand-seek champion. A group of 13 students discussed their answers as part of a class meeting Thursday, the other half of the class coming together on a different set of days. But instead of a typical in-person class, this was the first week of distance learning around the state. The novel coronavirus has shifted education out of the classroom. Now teachers, students and parents have begun adjusting to a new normal. “That’s their chance that they get to see each other. And they get to talk to each other, they hear each other and they talk about whatever crazy thing is happening,” said Mohn of her videoconference calls with her students. “Yesterday, everybody had their pets in and was sharing their pets with everybody. That part, to me, those Zoom meetings aren’t always instructional, the whole thing isn’t instructional, there might be a short part of it (that is) but the other part is that connection. To keeping us looking at each other’s faces and seeing each other and building that
relationship, which is so important.” Once the students have checked in, they talk about some upcoming schoolwork. For Mohn’s class, students and parents have access to an online document that includes a look at each day. In addition to morning check-ins either via group video chat or an email to Mohn, students then have expectations in language arts, math and writing every day. Language arts contains both a science and social studies aspect as students read an article and answer questions. Meanwhile, the math lesson includes a video tutorial from Mohn on that day’s subject of multiplying fractions. And the writing piece includes a journal. For a fifth grade class like Mohn’s, the Oregon Department of Education has given the directive that there is to be a maximum of 90 minutes of teacher-led learning each day. “What we have asked for our fifth graders is to fill out this form each week and tell me the times that you’re working… It’s kind of like a student timesheet. They keep track all week long and then they turn it in on Friday,” said Mohn. “This is the way that we’ve come up with to get the fifth graders to be a little bit more responsible so that it’s one less burden on the parents on what … things they have to do. So if they’re managing a first grader and a kindergartener, this way the fifth grader can say, ‘Look Mom, look Dad, I got it.’”
In addition to teacher-led learning, ODE has recommended that days be balanced with supplemental activities and wellness needs. For supplemental activities this includes everything from reviewing flash cards to reading a book to playing a board game. The wellness portion includes washing hands, playing outside and eating meals throughout the day. For Coos Bay School District Superintendent Bryan Trendell, he has seen a need for balance between all three areas. “Obviously we want to get some learning in there and that’s part of it, but we also want to provide some opportunities and time for them to do some other things that you don’t get to do when your kids are away at school,” he said. “You know, you’re home with your child and there’s an opportunity to go for a hike or go do some things that you wouldn’t ordinarily get to do. Try and incorporate that into the day because those can be educational as well. That’s that supplemental piece. And then the health and wellness piece really is a key as well.” Trendell made clear that the most important part of adjusting to a new way of learning has to ensure that each family is having their needs met; whether that is getting food or additional education resources. The next element has been continuing to build a relationship with

A test of our democracy
Voters in Wisconsin have scored a major victory for democracy. Yes, the Democratic Party benefited from their effort, but that’s not the main point. The real winner was the American system itself. The Republican Party in Wisconsin tried mightily to rig an election in favor of Judge Daniel Kelly, a right-wing ideologue on the state supreme court who was strongly endorsed by President Trump. They even won a ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority to limit mail-in voting, which Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg predicted would “result in massive disenfranchisement.” But all their efforts to thwart the popular will failed. Challenger Jill Karofsky crushed Kelly by more than 160,000 votes. As conservative strategist Matt Batzel lamented to the New York Times, “the left organized a historic number of absentee ballot requests.” Others risked infection from the coronavirus to vote in person. Wisconsin is only the first skirmish in a critical conflict that will be fought from now through Election Day. Republicans across the country are trying desperately
to thwart voter turnout, especially among minorities and young people, who tilt heavily against them. Former Attorney General Eric Holder put it this way in the Times: “Wisconsin is just a microcosm. And it presents questions that the nation will soon have to grapple with. It’s a test of our democracy. And the question is, ‘Are we up to passing that test?’” This is not a new fight. Republicans have long known they are facing what Sen. Lindsey Graham calls a “demographic death spiral.” When Ronald Reagan won in 1980, the electorate was 88% white; by 2016, whites represented only 71% of the voting public, and that rate will continue to decline. A candid self-analysis by the GOP after the 2012 election concluded, “We need to campaign among Hispanic, black, Asian and gay Americans and demonstrate that we care about them, too.” But instead of heeding that advice, the party has followed a very different strategy: maximizing their share of the white vote -- partly by using racial and nativist appeals -- while trying to minimize the impact of minorities by discouraging their
STEVEN V. ROBERTS participation. “For the better part of two decades, Republicans have sought to tighten voting restrictions,” reports the Times, “pushing stringent new voter identification requirements and sweeping voter roll purges that disproportionately affected people of color, the poor and the young.” That approach worked once for Trump: He squeezed out a narrow victory by winning 57% of the white votes, while attracting only 1 in 5 minority votes. Whether he succeeds again will depend heavily on the scurrilous suppression strategy Republicans used in Wisconsin and are preparing to deploy in other swing
states. The GOP has long justified their strategy by citing voter fraud, but that argument itself is a fraud -- a flat-out lie. “Studies have shown that all forms of voting fraud are extremely rare in the United States,” states the Times. Trump’s own commission to study voter fraud disbanded after finding no evidence to support the president’s outlandish claims. And yet Trump is at it again, telling a White House briefing that “mail ballots are very dangerous for this country because of cheaters.” That’s totally false, but it’s also not the real reason for his opposition to mail-in ballots. And everyone knows it. After thwarting efforts by congressional Democrats to expand mail-in voting in the economic stimulus package, Trump admitted to Fox News: “They had levels of voting that, if you ever agreed to it, you’d never have a Republican elected in this country again.” There it is, folks: the vicious, unvarnished truth. Republicans want to stop people who disagree with them from voting. Suppression is their strategy, and the “massive disenfranchisement”
Justice Ginsburg warned about is their goal. Instead of trying to win over nonwhite voters, they’re ruthlessly winnowing them out of the pool. To be completely fair, election experts agree that mail-in ballots are more subject to fraud than in-person voting. In 2018, a congressional election in North Carolina was overturned after a Republican operative tried to corrupt the process. But five states already have mail-in systems, and have developed anti-fraud strategies -- from ballot tracking to prepaid envelopes and ballot drop boxes -- that work extremely well. Holder is right: The coming election will be “a test of our democracy.” Wisconsin voters met that challenge by defying Republican efforts to impede their voting. This year, the best way to celebrate the 100th anniversary of women’s suffrage is for more voters in more states to follow their example.

On this day in Coos County history April 19, 1920 SAYS REEDSPORT IS GROWING CITY ASSESSOR OF DOUGLAS COUNTY PRAISES THE NEW CITY Lumber and Fishing and New Industry Starting Makes Lower Umpqua Town Busy Place
“If Reedsport grows as much in the next five years as she has in the past year, Roseburg will have to look to her laurels,” was the statement made by County Assessor F. J. Calkins in the Roseburg News/Review following his return from Reedsport, where he has been adjusting property valuations. An adjustment, satisfactory to all of the property owners of the town, was completed and by the new figures Reedsport will take her place as second in valuation in Douglas County, Roseburg holding first place. Heretofore Reedsport property has been valued very low, lots being sold as high as $800 while on the assessment record their valuation has only $50. This naturally brought about a higher levy, the last tax rate being 8.5 mills. The new assessment will be on the same basis as the remainder of the county and will put the property at its real value. The levy will thereby be decreased but the amount of tax to be paid will depend upon the special taxes voted by the district which in past years has special taxes in large sums.
“CLEAN UP CITY” WILL BE SLOGAN CIVIC IMPROVEMENT CAMPAIGN TO BE INAUGURATED HERE Chief Davis Will Take Matter Up With City Council Tonight – Great Need For It
“Clean Up Marshfield” will be the slogan of a civic improvement campaign to be inaugurated here within a few weeks under the direction of J. W. Davis, chief of the Marshfield city council at their meeting tonight to secure the full cooperation of the city authorities. The clean-up campaign dates will probably be fixed and Mayor Ferguson will issue a proclamation requesting all residents to see that their property is cleared of all debris. Aside from appearances, the clean-up is necessary as a fire prevention measure and also a sanity measure.

North Bend to Host Oregon Cities Session
A full agenda is scheduled April 22 at the League of Oregon Cities regional meeting in North Bend, city councilmen were informed this week. City Administrator Jack Isadore said the meeting will be held at Pony Village Motor Lodge. He said probably the most important session will be at 6:30 p.m. when a legislative work program for the coming year is brought under discussion. Councilmen at their meeting this week passed an ordinance amending the existing North Bend plumbing ordinance to conform with the state code, passed two improvement district assessment ordinances and approved a 10 cent fare increase for the Yellow Tuxedo Cab Terminal Co. A public hearing on the fare increase is schedule at the next council meeting April 28.
April 19, 2010 Hospital earns honors
The Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons recently granted Bay Area Hospital a threeyear accreditation with commendation.

Broken wire causes Bandon power outage
Several hundred Bandon residents went without electricity much of Sunday morning, after a broken wire cut off power. The power outage was first reported at 6:18 a.m. Crews responded as soon as the message came in and had the wire repaired between three and four hours later, said Bob Shaffar of Bandon’s electric department. Shaffer didn’t have an exact estimate as to how many people were affected. Workers are still working to permanently replace the wire.
Headstone of the family Forgotten cemetery marker brings kin together
There were two family reunions at the Marshfield Pioneer Cemetery on Saturday, though the guest of honor was there only in spirit. The first symbolically reunited a mother with her son. The second brought their descendants together from across the Northwest. More than 20 people assembled on the sloped hillside next to Marshfield High School to dedicate a headstone that’s new to the cemetery, but 124 years old. It belongs to Emma Gamble, an area pioneer who died April 13, 1886. She was 53. Her family buried her in a cemetery on Telegraph Hill that was later abandoned and built over.
April 18, 2015 Coos County invests in workforce development
The Coos County Economic Development Fund is investing in workforce development at Southwestern Oregon Community College through a $17,000 grant to the SWOCC Foundation. The grant will support the new associate of science degree program with forestry emphasis. The collaboration between the SWOCC Foundation, private industry and Coos County ensures the college will provide future natural resource industry specialists with the highest-quality instruction and equipment. The college’s new degree program will accept 25 students per year. Students who complete the two-year degree will be ready for entry-level jobs or can transfer as juniors to the Oregon State University School of Forestry bachelor’s degree program. The SWOCC Foundation supports the college through promotion of philanthropy to improve people’s lives socially, culturally, economically and educationally.
Frank’s fly boys keep Bandon Aviation friendly, buzzing with business
From the outside, Bandon Aviation appears to be a standard-looking warehouse sitting on a small airstrip, its only distinguishing characteristics the building’s blue exterior and basic block-lettered awning. But inside exists enough characters and interesting craftsmanship to land the next restoration reality television show. The craftsmanship comes in the form of the repair and restoration of vintage airplanes of all varieties. The characters incarnate are the Crook brothers, Wayne and Brady, and their right-hand man, Guy Guernsey. Up for debate is which carries more originality — the work done there or the coverall-clad crew making the planes pretty and operable. What’s certain is that aviation runs in their blood.

DEAR ABBY By Abigail Van Buren
Graduate seeks ways to boost vocabulary DEAR ABBY: I am a 26-year-old college graduate. I immigrated here in 2001, so English is my second language. I have no accent, and I have been doing well in my life overall, except I score low on reading and written communication when I take exams. I’m intelligent and a quick learner, but my vocabulary is kind of limited, and it makes me feel stupid, especially when I don’t score well on exams. I try to read, but I don’t always have the time. Do you have ideas on how I can improve my vocabulary or do better on exams? -- SMART BUT FEELS STUPID DEAR SMART: I know someone who, like you, immigrated to the United States in her early 20s after having spent her first 17 years in Russia. From there she went to Italy, where she learned to speak Italian. From there she came to the U.S. When I asked her how she learned English, she told me it was by watching American television. If there was a word she didn’t understand, she would look it up in a dictionary. Not only can this be fun, I have heard others say that’s the way they learned English, too. She also read books in English with a dictionary by her side. Audiobooks could be helpful, too. An adult education class might help you not only improve your vocabulary, but also help you sharpen your written English skills. Please consider it. DEAR ABBY: My 11-year-old niece sometimes calls my 7-year-old son fat, which hurts him to the core. He’s very close with his cousins, and we get together a lot. I have talked to my sister on numerous occasions about it. My son knows it’s not OK to make fun of how others look, and he doesn’t understand why she says these mean things to him. She’s old enough to know better. I don’t know how to get through to my sister that this behavior should be reprimanded when she doesn’t seem to care. -FED UP IN WISCONSIN DEAR FED UP: Your sister’s parenting skills appear to be questionable. Because she refuses to teach her daughter consideration for the feelings of others, or reprimand her when she’s cruel and hurtful, see less of the two of them and spend more time with the other cousins. DEAR ABBY: When I take my dog for a walk, I always carry little doggy bags and pick up his business. I live in a residential neighborhood with alleys behind the houses. After my dog does his business, I pick it up and often throw the tied-up bag in a trash can along the alley. Is this rude? Is it illegal to put things in other people’s trash cans? My dog may make several stops along our long walks, and I don’t want to carry his waste with me the whole trip. -- CONSIDERATE IN COLORADO DEAR CONSIDERATE: Whether it’s illegal in your community is something you should check locally because there may be an ordinance that forbids it. While I can’t speak for everyone, some of the homeowners those trash cans belong to would strenuously object to someone throwing dog doo-doo into them. That’s why my advice is, “When in doubt -- DON’T.” Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips.

Doris Lorene Murray November 17, 1932 - April 4, 2020
Doris Lorene Murray was born in Climax, Saskatchewan, Canada, on Nov. 17, 1932. She passed away peacefully at home at the age of 87 due to congestive heart failure and age related causes. Doris was the youngest of three daughters born to parents George and Marie Moen. She spent her early years living near Climax and, at age 7, moved with her family to Fosston, Minn., where her father was born and where she became a U.S. citizen. During the same year of 1940, they bought a farm south of Ebro, Minn., where they resided until Doris graduated from Bagley High School in
1951. After graduation, Doris attended summer school in Bemidji, Minn., and in the fall went on to Normal Training (Teachers Training) in East Grand Forks, Minn. The following year she taught school in Fisher, Minn. During this time, her parents sold their farm in Minnesota and moved to Coos Bay, Ore., as job prospects were good and weather was reasonable. After the school year, Doris moved to Coos Bay to explore her parents’ new home and see what job opportunities were available. She obtained a position in the time office and later the accounting office at Evans Wood Products in Coos Bay. Back in Minnesota, Doris had met Marvin Murray in their school years, and when Marvin was discharged from the Army in 1954, they wed in Bagley, Minn. Their honeymoon was a one-way drive from Bagley to Coos Bay and they began to build a future together. Son, Michael, was born in 1957 and daughter, Barbara, was born in 1961. Doris loved to say “our honeymoon never ended”! Doris was a devoted housewife and caring mother that fully supported her husband
and children. In 1977, Doris returned to work at Stillman’s Business Services and completed her working career as Office Manager and Bookkeeper at auto dealerships in Coos Bay. Doris and Marvin were Charter Members of the Saints-N-Aints Square Dance Club. Doris was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. Doris is survived by son, Michael (Cecilia) Murray of Houston, Texas; daughter, Barbara (Dennis) Ivey of Eugene, Oregon; and sister, Esther (Maynard) Gulbranson of East Grand Forks, Minnesota. She was preceded in death by her loving husband of 58 years, Marvin, in 2013; and her sister, Ruth Nyhus, in 2006. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in her memory to the Saints-N-Aints Square Dance Club, PO Box 777, Coos Bay, OR 97420 or a charity of your choice.

Famed wandering wolf is believed dead
SALEM (AP) — A wolf that wandered thousands of miles from Oregon and became the first wild wolf spotted in California in almost 90 years before returning to Oregon and starting a pack is believed to be dead, wildlife officials said. The wandering wolf, known as OR7, leaves behind a pack composed of its mate and three other wolves in the mountains of southern Oregon, wildlife biologists said in an annual wolf report released Wednesday. It’s one of 22 packs documented in Oregon, up from 16 in 2018. The number of wolves in the state increased 15% to 158 during that time. OR7, with a thick coat of gray and cream-colored fur, was dubbed Journey after a naming contest. A GPS collar allowed millions of people to track the animal when it left its pack in northeastern Oregon and headed southwest. In 2011, Journey became the first gray wolf to roam west of the Cascade Range since 1946. He then crossed into California and spent time in the shadow of snowcapped Mount Shasta. “Across the thousands of miles he traveled he captured the hearts and minds of millions of people. I think a huge part of it was that his story was deeply relatable,” said Steve Pedery, conservation director of Oregon Wild. “I think he also amazed us all with his tenacity, endurance and intelligence,” Pedery said. “He had to hunt and scavenge for food, find water and avoid
human poachers, cars and highways.” In the process, Pedery said, Journey traversed high desert sagebrush, ponderosa pine forests, and snow-capped mountains while swimming rivers and surviving harsh winters. Not finding a mate in California, where the last gray wolf had been killed in 1924, Journey returned to Oregon, where he finally found a mate and started a pack. Since then, fewer than a dozen wolves have made California home. One of Journey’s offspring also wandered into California, travelling almost 9,000 miles (14,000 kilometers) but was found dead there in February. Journey was last photographed in Oregon in the fall and no trace of him was found during the winter wolf count, according to the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. He was estimated to be 11 years old. “We don’t know if OR7 has died, but it would be reasonable to assume considering his age, which is old for a wolf in the wild,” said Roblyn Brown, the department’s wolf coordinator. Pedery said that if Journey has died, he hopes it was somewhere in the forests around Crater Lake, in the territory he reclaimed for his species. “I think OR-7 changed how we think about wolves, and about our relationship with them and with wild places,” Pedery said. “He symbolized redemption, and the hope that if humans get out of the way, nature and wildlife can recover and thrive. ”

Food pantry addresses virus impact ADAM ROBERTSON The World
REEDSPORT — Project Blessing Food Pantry director Susan Martin went on Oregon Public Broadcasting’s “Think Out Loud” show Wednesday. She joined Oregon Food Bank CEO Susannah Morgan to give an update on how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting food pantries. During the interview, Martin said there’s been a “dramatic” rise in people coming to the food pantry. She said there’s been a 40% increase in distribution and over the last month, they’ve doubled the number of new clients. Some past clients, who hadn’t come to the pantry in years, have also been returning. “It’s been a dramatic increase and impact on the pantry,” she said. Martin reported there’s been a lot of fear about the situation and Project Blessing is working to put out a message that people will be able to get what they need. She’s been stressing that there’s no food shortage and people can still get everything they need. She later added the challenges being faced are the same as they’ve always been. The distance between a pantry and its distribution center is still the same, for example. The only difference is that more of a spotlight has been put on those challenges. “I was grateful to be able to talk to them about that,” she said, adding there’s more information she would have liked to pass on to the rest of the state. Martin said it was great to be a voice for rural communities. She said people in rural areas are resilient and innovative and it was wonderful getting to express that to the state. “Innovation doesn’t just come from the big cities, it can come from any community,” Martin said. “Many of us, we’re creative, resilient people wherever we live. I’m just really grateful for those

who have reached out to me and the pantry to find out how they could help out. I’m grateful for a platform to be able to share with the rest of the state how well Oregon is doing.” She added that the needs and experiences of a rural food pantry are different from those in a city like Portland. She said a pantry near a major distribution hub can go to stock up throughout the day, but in an area like Reedsport that same trip can take most of the day. “I think it was very fortunate that the Oregon Food Bank reached out to a rural food bank for that perspective to be conveyed,” said Martin. “Often times they talk about urban setting and the rural perspective gets left out. “What comes across to me right now is everyone’s saying ‘we’re in this to-
gether. While that might be true, we’re in this together but we’re experiencing it differently.” Martin recalled that pantries in bigger communities have lots of outlets for donations, many of which are stepping up to help them continue operating during this difficult time. She said Reedsport has seen a similar outpouring of generosity from small stores and businesses, even though they might be struggling to stay open themselves. “They’ve reached out to the pantry with financial donations and with offers to help in ways that they could,” said Martin. “I truly believe ... because of the board of directors in this community, our pantry remains open. It’s the support we’re getting from the community that’s keeping the pantry open.”
Project Blessing has picked up several more volunteers to help operate the pantry. They were able to change the facility over to the new layout in a day. They can also now offer delivery to people that are homebound or quarantined and unable to come out during business hours. Martin also remembered putting out the word looking for help getting face coverings to keep volunteers safe while saving masks in the store for health care providers. By the next day, someone brought them plenty of coverings. “It’s not just the volunteers at the pantry, it’s the entire community that is keeping our pantry open,” Martin said. The crisis has also caused Project Blessing, and other pantries, to change their operations
model. The Reedsport pantry used to be a store format where customers could go in and grab what they need, as though going through a grocery store. Now it’s more of a warehouse and distribution center. Project Blessing is operating in a way that limits person to person contact as much as possible. Customers put in an order, which is filled by volunteers, then place it on a table and move away so the person can pick it up. The pantry is also taking extra precautions for sanitation and safety. Martin said volunteers are washing their hands every 15 minutes, surfaces are getting wiped down regularly, and orders are stored if a customer is late picking it up. Project Blessing is also offering a “grab and go” option where people
can grab a well-balanced box of items meeting the USDA food pyramid recommendations. Martin said this allows people to get food when they really need it, even if they can’t necessarily do a full shopping trip. While the health crisis is expected to be temporary, and Martin expects to go back to business as it used to be when the ‘stay-athome’ orders are lifted, some of the changes to Project Blessing have been working so well they may become permanent. The pantry has been working with a local church group to arrange delivery to homebound residents and those with limited mobility. “It’s worked very well,” she said of the arrangement. “We hope to keep that in some form, whether that local group continues to organize that or whether we take over that piece.”

Bridge project Commissioners work to secure will close road a site for quarantined homeless The World
Short section to be closed for two years SCOTTSBURG — A short section of Scottsburg West Road at the north end of Scottsburg Bridge will be closed for about two years starting Monday, April 20. Both the bridge and Oregon State Highway 38 (Umpqua Highway) will remain open at all times during construction, according to a news release from the Oregon Department of Transportation. The closure will affect the 200-foot spur of Scottsburg West Road where it meets Oregon 38. Motorists traveling on Scottsburg West Road will be directed to drive under the bridge and use Main Street to reach the highway. The new Scottsburg Bridge will be constructed just downriver of the old
structure, requiring workers to realign this part of Scottsburg West Road. Prime contractor Hamilton Construction began work on the $39.5 million bridge replacement project in early February. Their first tasks involved removing trees, clearing brush, building access roads, demolishing a condemned house within the work zone, and lowering the roadway under the bridge, according to ODOT. Over the summer, contractors will build a work platform that extends into the Umpqua River. They will also build an approach road to the platform and a retaining wall along Scottsburg West Road. Construction on the new bridge will likely begin later this year. All work is scheduled to be completed by summer 2022. For more information, contact ODOT Public Information Officer Dan Latham at 541-817-5200 or Dan.Latham@odot. state.or.us.

COOS COUNTY — The Oregon National Guard Armory in Coos Bay could soon become a quarantine site. Coos County Commissioners on Wednesday approved an order requesting permission from the state to use the military facility as a possible quarantine site. If approved, local health officials will then be able to use the facility’s parking lot to temporarily shelter and quarantine homeless individuals who test positive for COVID-19. Homeless individuals who have contracted the coronavirus would be separated from others as a way to decrease the likelihood of spreading the virus, according to the order. As they recover from COVID-19, those admitted to the military-style tents would be provided with basic medical care. Coos County’s homeless population is “at a greater risk of contracting and/or transmitting the coronavirus, as it is difficult for such individuals to maintain social distancing, and to abide by the Governor’s ‘stay home’ order,” according to the order. The site, a recommendation from the Coos Health and Wellness’ COVID-19 homeless taskforce, is one of a few possible locations for temporary emergency shelters. Coos Bay City Manager Rodger Craddock, a member of the taskforce, said the group has been looking at a number of locations to shelter citizens who don’t have homes where they can quarantine. According to Craddock, the group has discussed

Coos County Commissioners approved an order requesting permission from the state to use the parking lot of the Oregon National Guard Armory as a temporarily shelter for homeless individuals.
The Oregon National Guard Armory in Coos Bay has been identified as a possible location to shelter homeless individuals who test positive COVID-19. various location possibilities, some of which include securing multiple sites to shelter homeless individuals based on their gender, symptoms and a site just for those who actually test positive for COVID-19.
It’s important to note that the county does not have an active coronavirus case, said Craddock. However, having a contingency plan should an outbreak occur among the homeless population is a top priority
for health and city officials throughout Coos County as the process involves many steps and formalities, he explained. The commissioners voted unanimously to approve the order.

is handing out these food boxes once a week. And each week, he sees a 20% increase in the number of families showing up. In the past four weeks, said Cooper, 100 families have been fed. “I’m at the point where I’m handing out two pallets full of food.” Because AYA often has homeless students, the organization is part of the local Food Share. And AYA has doubled down on buying more food than ever before. “We’re ‘education,’” said Cooper, “but we are still a nonprofit in the community. And this was one way for us to give back.” As the families show up for food, he asks how many people are in the household,

so he knows how much food they need. Cooper has seen some families with up to seven children to feed. Morning coffee, morning round-up But Cooper isn’t alone in his efforts to help those in need. On the other side of Coos Bay, in the shadowed parking lot of Harmony United Methodist Church, Pastor Donald Ford marches through a year-old parking lot turned homeless camp. Ford walks through the camp every morning to keep tally on who’s there, a firm voice keeping the peace. He’s also the one who shows up seven days a week to set out food each morning, make coffee, even take everyone’s temperature and heart rate. As of Thursday morning, there were almost 80
homeless individuals and families. “We’ve been feeding them like this in the morning since the (pandemic) hit the forefront, so about a month and a half ago,” said Ford. Food banks are contrib-
Broman. “They are so devoted … and really some of the best volunteers I think I’ve ever seen.” Ready to work, volunteers showed up Thursday with their own masks, gloves and other protective gear. With more folks volunteering, Broman said the food bank is in need of additional masks
and is currently accepting donations. “Our (commercial truck’s) engine is not as healthy as it used to be,” said Broman. “We’re looking for a replacement and so if someone wants to donate one that’s something we could definitely use.” Last month, the food

uting, as is the local senior center, which has closed its doors to follow social-distancing guidelines. “We’re getting one, two or three new people here a week,” Ford said. He’s seen an uptick in the
number of homeless evicted from state parks after those locations closed in response to Oregon Gov. Kate Brown’s orders to limit contact with others. “That’s more of an emergency-type thing that we’re seeing,” he said. As for the people Ford is helping, “You can see they aren’t following social-distancing rules, because that’s not the way they are.” He sees many of those in the camp still sharing cigarette butts. “That’s why, if something breaks out here, we will have to move these people.” Ford and other homeless advocates are part of a task force led by Coos Health and Wellness to create a plan for dealing with the local homeless population should COVID-19 gain a foothold. He said all he
knows right now is that if someone in the camp is afflicted, they’ll all need to be ready to move. Meantime, Ford said, at least the local officials know where to find the homeless population if the virus were to strike the most vulnerable. “Everyone knows where they are,” he said. “They’re here. “We’re not using the church for anything right now, and are streaming our church services on our Facebook page at 11 a.m. every Sunday.” For now, even as Ford puts his battle face on to care for his ever-growing flock, Cooper looks at their children with hope. “I’m hoping we’re reprioritizing ourselves, that we look at our neighbors and become more humane,” Cooper said. “As we social distance, I think we’re coming closer
bank’s beloved co-founder Joan Daniels had a heart attack and passed away. Her passing, coupled with the COVID-19 outbreak, caused the group to temporarily cancel its food giveaways, said Broman. A number of safety reasons also contributed to it halting its operations,
but after noticing the great need and demand for food, Broman said they knew they had to come back. In honor of its co-founder, the Pelican Harbor Food Bank did just that and returned to work to help feed hungry families. “It feels good and it’s the right thing to do,” said Broman. “It’s God’s food

Oregon’s Ionescu is top pick in WNBA draft
The Associated Press
Oregon’s Sabrina Ionescu was the top pick in the WNBA draft on Friday.
NEW YORK (AP) — Oregon star Sabrina Ionescu was the No. 1 pick in the WNBA draft, as expected. When she’ll play for the New York Liberty is unclear. With sports on hold because of the coronavirus pandemic, it was a draft Friday night like no other with players in their own homes instead of a central location, Commissioner Cathy Engelbert announced selections from her home in New Jersey, holding up the jersey of the player being chosen. “Of course it was different than what I had expected, and just excited to be able to be here with my family and the people closest to me and be able to spend this time,” Ionescu said
from her home in California. “Making the most out of what’s going on in today’s society. Just really happy to be able to spend this moment with them and excited to have gone through this process.” Ionescu set the NCAA record for triple-doubles and was the first college player to have over 2,000 points, 1,000 rebounds and 1,000 assists in her career. Ionescu was one of three first round picks for New York, which also had Nos. 9 and 12. “I’ve been working for this for my entire basketball career and super excited to see that come to fruition,” Ionescu said. “I’m very humbled and excited for the opportunity.” Ducks teammate Satou
Sabally, one of three juniors to forego their last year of college eligibility and enter the draft, went second to Dallas. It’s the third time in the history of the draft that the top two picks were teammates in college. “To go 1-2 with Satou is a really cool feeling and shows all the hard work we went through this year paid off,” Ionescu said. “Really proud of her and what we were able to do as teammates and excited to see her future in the pros.” Lauren Cox went third to Indiana and Chennedy Carter was the fourth pick by Atlanta. Dallas took Bella Alarie with the fifth pick. The Princeton star was only the second Ivy League player to be drafted that high. Harvard star Allison Feaster was also selected
fifth in the 1998 draft by the Los Angeles Sparks. South Carolina players Mikiah Herbert Harrigan and Tyasha Harris went sixth and seventh to Minnesota and Dallas. The Gamecocks finished No. 1 in the AP poll this season. Chicago chose Ruthy Hebard with the eighth pick — marking the fifth consecutive season and ninth overall that three college teammates were taken in the opening round. “Really shows what kind of environment we had at Oregon,” Sabally said. Oregon State’s Mikayla Pivek was taken by Atlanta with the first pick of the third round. Please see WNBA, Page B3
NFL draft may be lacking in trades TOM CANAVAN Associated Press
To trade or not to trade? An especially difficult question in this year’s NFL draft? The coronavirus pandemic has forced the NFL to conduct its annual draft remotely, which might reduce the number of times Commissioner Roger Goodell or anyone else announces a trade. General managers around the league said this week the remote nature of the draft will change the way teams move up and down in the order next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Spur of the moment deals might be difficult to engineer with team officials at their homes and not in “war rooms” in their headquarters. It will be nearly impossible to look around the room for a quick consensus. And if a communications connection is lost — IT guys have been working countless hours to make sure that does not happen — or a phone goes dead, what happens? The more likely scenarios for trades are ones that are premeditated. Take for example, the Detroit Lions and New York Giants, who hold the third and fourth picks overall, respectively. Both teams have been listening to offers this week, Lions GM Bob Quinn and Giants counterpart Dave Gettleman have said. “It’s something I would very seriously entertain,” said Gettleman, whose team is in position to take a much-needed offensive tackle. The Lions are listening, too. There has been talk of the Dolphins and others jumping up to No. 3 to grab a quarterback — or whatever. “I think just the way the world we’re living in, with this being virtual, I think a lot of those things, if I’m going to do something, I think we’re going to have a pretty good idea Thursday afternoon of where we stand,” Quinn said. “I don’t think I’m going to be making a huge decision on trading the No. 3 overall pick while I’m on the clock, while I’m virtually talking to our head coach and our other personnel.” Gettleman said the trade squeeze would be felt most after the second round. The first round is 10 minutes in length. The second is seven. Rounds 3-6 will fall to five minutes a pick. It drops to four minutes in the seventh and final round. “It’s going to be tight to try to do that, to try to trade back or trade up,” Gettleman said of the final five rounds. “I think what’s going to happen, what this is going to force everybody to do, is do deals before their pick is up. So, let’s say ... one team calls another team and says, `I want to trade up.’ They’ll make a deal off the clock, and then if the guy is there for the team that wants to move up, then they’ll consummate the trade. I think a lot of it is going to be done ahead of time.” Please see NFL, Page B3

Bandon’s Franklin will run for Western Oregon JOHN GUNTHER The World
BANDON — Aero Franklin has long had a dream of becoming an Army ranger. He also dreamed of becoming a runner in college. He hopes to make both a part of his future, and is putting his time in the military on hold to pursue the chance to be a college athlete.

Bandon Crossings enjoys big turnout The World Bandon Crossings has enjoyed large turnouts the past two weeks for its Casual Fridays and Wacky Wednesdays games. An unofficial record of 53 golfers participated last week in the Casual Fridays game, which earns points in the season-long race for the Crossings Cup. Philllip Shoaf had the best gross score of 69, while Carter Borror had the best net score with a 66. And nearly 30 golfers turned out this week for the Wednesday game, which was an 18-hole throw-out contest. Bob Wirsing had the best net score for the five par-3 holes with a nine, while Stu Blasius, Dewey Powers and Bryan Church all tied for low net on the par-4 holes with scores of 26. Neal Cahoon, Val Nemcek and Richard Stefiuk had the best net scores for the five par-5s holes with 16s. Golfers were allowed to throw out their worst hole in each category, leading to the scores. Blasius had the best overall score with a 55, one shot better than Nemcek and Cedric Johnston. For information on the weekly games, visit www. bandoncrossings.com or call 541-347-3232.

MWL, Sky-Em stars earn all-state honors Bittle, Stice are Class 5A and Class 4A players of the year The World North Bend and Marshfield didn’t have any players selected to the all-state teams for basketball, but their leagues brought in some of the highest honors for Class 5A and Class 4A in voting of the state’s coaches. In Class 5A, Nate Bittle of Crater, one of the schools in the Midwestern League with North Bend, was the player of the year. Meanwhile, in Class 4A, the player of the year (Nic Stice) and coach of the year (Bart Pollard) both came from Marist Catholic, which is one of Marshfield’s Sky-Em League foes. Three of the other top honors went to players or coaches who were at Marshfield’s holiday basketball tournament in December. Philomath swept the Class 4A girls honors with player of the year Sage Kramer and coach of the year Ben Silva. And Crook County’s Jason Mumm was named Class 5A boys coach of the year after leading the Cowboys to the state tournament for the first time in school history. Bittle was joined on the Class 5A boys first team by Churchill’s Brian Goracke.
Churchill’s Danika Starr was on the girls first team. Churchill’s Silas Bennion, Crater’s Kruger Edwards and Willamette’s Luke Smith all were on the boys second team and Samaje Morgan of Churchill was an honorable mention pick. For the Class 5A girls, Willamette’s Natalie Willoughby was on the second team and Crather’s McKenzie Hirsch was an honorable mention pick. In Class 4A, Matty Ladd of Cottage Grove was on the girls second team and Ben Morehouse of Marist Catholic was an honorable mention pick for boys. In Class 1A, four players from the Skyline League received some recognition. For the girls, Moriah Michaels of Days Creek was on the second team, while Nikki Derrick of North Douglas was on the third team and Kieryn Carnes of Elkton received honorable mention. For the boys, Jake Gerrard of North Douglas was on the third team. Three girls shared player of the year honors: Kelsie Siegner of Crane, Erin Counts of St. Paul and Sabrian Albee of Joseph. Crane’s Stub Travis was coach of the year. For the boys, Triad swept the top awards with player of the year Michael Irvine and coach of the year Jason Young. Complete all-state teams for all three classifications are in today’s Scoreboard section.

Olympic pole vaulting silver medalist Sandi Morris runs on the vaulting pit she is building with her father in Greenville, S.C., on Tuesday, April 14. Morris didn’t have a place to practice and plenty of down time due to the coronavirus pandemic. So she and her father are constructing their own pole vault setup.
Pole vaulter builds her own pit PAT GrAhAM Associated Press
Sandi Morris set the bar high with her latest do-it-yourself project. Soon, she will be clearing it, too. The Olympic pole vault silver medalist didn’t have a place to practice and plenty of down time due to the coronavirus pandemic. So she and her father constructed their own pole-vault setup near Greenville, South Carolina. Built out of plywood, the 120foot (36.6-meter) runway is situated between a soccer field and a tennis court on neighborhood land two blocks from her parents’ place. Their pole vault project could be operational as soon as this weekend (they just need the landing mat to arrive). Viewing is definitely encouraged — from windows for now (social distancing and all). “There are tons of houses that can see the field from their windows,” said the 27-year-old Morris, who usually trains in Fayetteville, Arkansas, but traveled home to start the project with the Tokyo Games postponed to next summer and no foreseeable competitions. “So I’m being literal when I say they’re going to watch me from their windows. It will be fun.” This project has been in the back of their mind for ages. Morris would always venture home and wouldn’t be able to stay long because she had to return to practice. Now, her coach can simply send along a workout. “This virus kind of pushed us to do something that we’ve always wanted to do,” said Morris, who finished second to Katerina Stefanidi of Greece at the 2016 Rio Olympics. The entire endeavor took about
three weeks and cost around $4,000 (not counting the landing mat, which usually runs around $30,000 but was loaned to her). There’s a rubber surface covering the runway for better traction, too. No concrete was used so it can be moved (although, not easily). Each day, the routine went something like this: Sandi would train in the morning while her father, Harry, worked from home as a geologist. When their day jobs were complete, they headed to the field — about two blocks out their front door — to finish the pole-vault project (friends volunteered their time, too, on property the owner gave a green light to use). The father and daughter would be down there until nearly dark. Most times, she would head home first with her dad saying he would be along shortly. “An hour later, he then comes home. My mom’s like, ‘Where were you?’ And he’s like, and this is always the answer, ‘Oh, I was just tinkering,’” explained Morris, who’s earned the silver medal at the last two world outdoor championships. “This project brings him a lot of joy — and that brings me a lot of joy.” The blueprint was provided by Scott Kendricks, the father of twotime world pole vaulting champion Sam Kendricks. The Kendricks family built a similar setup years ago in Mississippi (they’ve since switched to a fabricated runway). It’s no easy task. “Almost like building a skatepark — you can really mess it up if you don’t know what you’re doing,” Sam Kendricks said. “But I saw her running on it and I was like, ‘Wow, that’s a fine runway you guys have built.’” He’s eager to try it out — once
MLS pushes back season to at least June 8 ANNe M. PeTerSoN Associated Press
Major League Soccer is pushing back restarting the season to at least June 8 and says it is also discussing possible salary cuts with the players’ union. Teams had played two matches before the season was suspended on March 12 because of the coronavirus pandemic and the league had been looking at possibly resuming play in mid-May. The league would still like to play a full season.
MLS also said it is exploring possible “changes to player compensation” because of the financial hit the league and teams are facing. “We are seeking to work collaboratively with the MLSPA to find a solution that provides a safety net for all players, opportunity to earn full salary in the scenario where all matches are played with fans, and in particular provides protection for the players at the lower end of the salary scale,” the league said in a statement Friday.
The Major League Soccer Players’ Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Possible salary cuts of as much as 50% for some players were first reported by ESPN, which cited sources. But those cuts would only kick in if games or the season were canceled. A person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press that players would not be furloughed. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the information is
not being made public. MLS and the players’ union agreed to terms of a new contract in early February, but it had not been ratified when the season was put on hold. The league has long maintained that it prefers to play a full season. Possible scenarios include extending play into December and canceling non-league matches like the Leagues Cup between MLS and Liga MX teams. Games could also be played without fans in attendance.
Two high schoolers will try the G League route to NBA NEW YORK (AP) — Top recruit Jalen Green said Thursday that he is skipping college and has signed with the G League for next season, becoming the first player to take advantage of a new potential path to the NBA.
Green, a guard from Napa, California, who was considered by some as the No. 1 overall recruit in this year’s high school class, will be eligible for the 2021 NBA draft and seems a strong candidate to be among the top picks.

shelter-at-home restrictions are eased and it’s safer to travel again, of course. “Heck yeah. I’d definitely drive through Atlanta to visit Sandi and try that,” Kendricks said. Maybe even a competition on it one day? The runway is mobile enough and could be moved to, say, the streets of downtown Greenville for an event like the Liberty Bridge Jump Off. “If you build it, they will come,” Kendricks joked. “Or they’ll ask to.” To stay sharp, Morris is working out with recently purchased weight room equipment. She’s also enjoying some down time at home. She recently purchased a bunny for her niece (“scored some cool points,” she laughed). It was one highlight after another last fall for Morris, who grabbed second at the world championships in Doha, Qatar. Soon after, she married Bermuda long jumper Tyrone Smith. They’re currently in different locations, though, as he balances training for the Olympics with business school at the University of Texas. Maybe down the road, a longjump project. “There’s not really a great place for him to jump here,” she explained. “There are high school tracks that have long-jump pits, but most of them don’t have a long enough runway.” As for the Olympics being pushed back until next summer, she’s trying to look at the positive — no matter how hard it may be. Diamond League meets are postponed until at least June. “Building this has been such an incredible distraction,” Morris said. “The pole vaulting here will allow me to just go out and have fun.”

“This is the best route to prepare myself,” Green said, making the announcement on Instagram. Green’s signing is different from the program that was expected to allow top players the chance to use the G League as a bridge between high school and the NBA. Green will play for a still-being-developed program, but not for any G League team or with affiliation with an NBA franchise. He, and any others who follow, will play under the G League umbrella, focusing on draft preparation, basketball readiness and life skills. A person with knowledge of the situation said Green’s salary will “be
significantly more” than the $125,000 contracts that the G League began offering as an option to select players in 2018. The person spoke on condition of anonymity to the AP because the contract terms were not released publicly. On Friday, Isaiah Todd became the second player to jump from high school to the G League this week, signing with the league with the intent of joining its new elite program. Todd was a highly recruiting forward at Word of God Christian Academy in Raleigh, North Carolina. He was a McDonald’s All-American and Jordan Brand Classic selection this year.

NFL will hold practice draft BARRY WILNER Associated Press

In this image taken on Tuesday, April 14, Italian professional cyclist David Martinelli, rides his bike after collecting medicine at a pharmacy to be delivered to residents in Rovato, near Brescia, Northern Italy.
Italian Pro puts cycling skills to beneficial use ROVATO, Italy (AP) — There are no fans lining the road. No teammates providing support. And there is no race to win. Professional cyclist Davide Martinelli has achieved a moral victory, though, by using his bike to help deliver medicine to elderly residents and others in need during the coronavirus pandemic. The service is of great use in Lodetto, Martinelli’s hometown in the hardhit Lombardy region of northern Italy. The village has neither a pharmacy nor a supermarket. Martinelli makes a daily trip to Rovato, the next town over, to pick up supplies. “I’ve got a bike and two legs in pretty good form, so riding 10 kilometers (6 miles) a day is no big deal,” Martinelli said in an interview this week. “I wanted to help the people who always support me during the season. It’s time to give back to them.” Martinelli joined up with a Facebook group called “Lodetto Solidale” (Supporting Lodetto) where those in need can
place their requests online, by phone or message. Martinelli receives his orders each night and maps out a route for the following day. “I go to the pharmacy and when I arrive outside I put on gloves and a mask,” he said. “If I go for three or four people, there’s less risk of contagion.” With a population of 1,500, everyone in Lodetto knows who Martinelli is. Or rather, they know who Martinelli’s father is. That’s because Giuseppe Martinelli is one of the most successful team directors in cycling, having guided the likes of Marco Pantani and Vincenzo Nibali to Tour de France victories and a handful of riders to Giro d’Italia wins. The elder Martinelli said that what his son is doing now is “a step above a victory for one of my athletes, because it’s gratifying to him and to us because he’s part of our family.” Davide Martinelli is also part of Giuseppe Martinelli’s Astana team — the squad that Lance Armstrong rode for in 2009 when he

Coaches and general managers were spread throughout the country and world, so they set up virtual war rooms instead of gathering in their own team facilities. While the draft was held Friday, its still unclear when the league will actually start its season. Engelbert reinforced on a conference call earlier in the day that there was no timetable to when the season will begin. She said there were a variety of scenarios in play, but the most important factor was the health of everyone. Training camp was supposed to begin next weekend with the regular season opener originally scheduled for May 15.

New York took UConn’s Megan Walker with the ninth pick. Phoenix picked Jocelyn Willoughby of Virginia 10th. Seattle took former South Florida star Kitija Laksa with the 11th pick and New York closed out the first round drafting Jazmine Jones from Louisville. New York, which was the first team ever to have five of the first 15 picks in the draft, selected Jones’ Louisville teammate Kylee Shook at 13 and Duke’s Leaonna Odom at 15. The Liberty also made two trades after the draft, acquiring Willoughby for Shatori Walker-Kimbrough. New York also traded Erica Ogwumike, who they drafted in the third round, to Minnesota for Stephanie Talbot. The WNBA tried to create a draft like experience for the players, sending them a care package with

He plans to study criminal justice, opening up a future in law enforcement after the military, and said he also will join Western’s ROTC program. Franklin had planned to sign his letter in March, on what became the first day of a statewide school closure that now will last the rest of the school year. Instead, he signed his letter outside his home with a small group of supporters including his family and Hutton’s family, as well as one of his teammates. He noted that they did practice social distancing and said the signing cere-
mony was a bright spot. “You can still have your goals, but it’s hard because everything is uncertain,” he said. “(The ceremony) was something that was, ‘Hey, you’re still on track for something.’” True to his team leadership nature, Franklin said he was grateful for his teammates. “I really appreciate all my teammates, whether they are varsity or JV,” he said. “I’m always inspired by them. They might not be the fastest, but they are working just as hard as all of us are.” He also thanked his family and coaches, the community and the high school staff and district leaders, “everybody who has helped me get to this point.”
came out of retirement. Still, Giuseppe Martinelli said he had nothing to do with his son’s initiative besides offering fatherly advice: “I just said, ‘Be careful. Be safe. Don’t touch anyone. Use a mask and gloves when you enter the pharmacy.’” At 26, Davide Martinelli likely still has his best racing years ahead of him. So far in his career, he has won only two stages in minor races — both in 2016. This initiative has brought him more recognition than anything else he’s done on his bike. While professional athletes were at first allowed out to train during the nationwide lockdown in Italy, the government ordered them to remain home, too, after the Tokyo Olympics were postponed to 2021. “But don’t think for an instant that there’s some sort of training strategy behind all of this,” Giuseppe Martinelli said of his son’s initiative. “Eight out of 10 times he goes out with normal running shoes and his mountain bike. ... So we’re talking about 30-40 minutes twice a day and sometimes only once per day.”
The NFL will hold a practice remote draft Monday, three days before the real thing is done in the same way. Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn on Friday did not provide details on the proceedings — except what his team has planned. “We’re going to do a couple internal tests and trial runs here,” Quinn said in a Zoom meeting to preview the draft. “The league is having a mock draft, mock trial run on Monday that we’ll participate in.” Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered all team facilities closed in March, and later required club personnel to conduct the draft from their homes. Because of the reliance on free-flowing communication, the league decided to stage a mock draft to ensure all goes smoothly next Thursday, Friday and Saturday. The draft originally was scheduled for Las Vegas, but the NFL canceled all

Philadelphia Eagles personnel director Howie Roseman said talks between teams have been no different this week than previous years. “We all have each other’s phone numbers and we all have multiple phone lines,” Roseman said. “I think there will be the same level of communication because that doesn’t change.” If he wants to talk to Chiefs GM Brett Veach, he’s just a call or text away. Veach is in a new spot for this draft: The Super Bowl champions are bringing up the rear of the opening round. He won’t be alone at his home. The league allows
public events last month as a safeguard against the coronavirus. On April 6, Goodell instructed teams on how they should plan to make selections. “After consulting with medical advisers, we cannot identify an alternative that is preferable from a medical or public health perspective, given the varying needs of clubs, the need properly to screen participants, and the unique risk factors that individual club employees may face,” he wrote. Among the technologies needed for the actual draft are team web meetings and a web hookup with the league itself. There also will be phone lines for communicating with other teams for trades, which must be approved by the NFL central office. “I’m at my house, I have a home office that I use occasionally during the season and occasionally during the offseason — not very much,” Quinn said. “But I’m staring at a TV to my right. I have three monitors to my left, I have two laptops. I have a huge
what we would call our ‘draft phone,’ I have my home phone. I have two cell phones, and I have a printer. So that’s kind of my setup that I’m looking at right now. “We can’t obviously replicate our draft board in my office here, so all the draft boards, needs boards, all of those things will be emailed, printed, they’ll probably be screen-shared on some platform that we’re still evaluating ... to use next week. Then we’ll have redundancies on everything.” Security will be paramount, considering the possibility of crossed communication lines that allow one club’s personnel to hear discussions of another team’s decision makers. “The league allows an IT person to be present at your house and a security guy there just in case people don’t like your picks, they’re not knocking on your door or ringing the doorbell,” said Brett Veach, general manager of the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs.
him and every team to have an IT guy — and a security guard, perhaps to chase away fans who may not like a team’s pick. “One thing that I think every team is most concerned about is just the flow and the effectiveness of communication. If you’re on the clock and you’re working through your scenarios, then you finally come up with, ‘OK, we like this guy,’” Veach said. “(Or) we don’t like any of these trades. Or, we like this trade, and we want to do this trade. ... I think the scenario that we’re all kind of playing through our mind is when you’re on the clock and you’re about to turn a card in, and then with 45 seconds left, a team comes in and presents a really interesting trade.” The NFL will conduct
a mock draft on Monday to test whether teams can navigate those late-minute scenarios. What seems certain is LSU quarterback Joe Burrow going No. 1 overall to Cincinnati, then Ohio State edge rusher Chase Young taken next by Washington. After that, how many times will Goodell announce a trade from home? Will fewer deals happen because of this year’s draft dynamics? No doubt, phones will be ringing for three days next week. “If someone calls you up and their chart doesn’t match yours and they make an offer and you don’t think it’s a good deal, you don’t do it,” Gettleman said. “It’s that simple. If both groups are motivated, you’ll come to some kind of conclusion.”

Protestors rally outside Capitol SALEM (AP) — Dozens circled Oregon’s state Capitol in their vehicles Friday to protest the state’s stay-at-home order meant to slow the spread of the coronavirus. People in vehicles honked horns and displayed signs in one of several protests happening across the country this week as conservatives push back against virus-related restrictions. Meanwhile the Oregon Health Authority reported six new COVID-19 deaths Friday for a total of 70 in the state. State officials
also reported 49 new cases, increasing to 1,785 the total number of people statewide who have tested positive for the disease. Organizers said the rally is aimed at getting their constitutional rights back and getting Oregonians back to work, KEZI-TV reported. Gov. Kate Brown issued an order for Oregonians to stay home starting March 23 and banned non-essential gatherings and travel after crowds descended on the state’s beach towns and hiking trails the weekend prior. The order closes many
businesses except for those deemed essential such as grocery stores and pharmacies. Brown said earlier this week that she won’t reopen Oregon’s economy or ease restrictions until she sees a declining rate of active virus cases and public health data suggesting a return to normalcy is safe. Also on Friday, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported that the coronavirus has so far infected 10 people who live or work in state-funded homes for people with intellectual or developmental disabilities. The disease has struck
one person in 10 separate homes: a foster home for children, three foster homes for adults and six adult group homes, according to data state officials provided to The Oregonian/OregonLive. The homes are in southern Oregon, with one case each in Jackson and Klamath counties, in the Willamette Valley, with four cases in Marion, Lane and Linn counties, and in the Portland area, with four infected homes in Clackamas, Washington and Multnomah counties.
More than 1,000 protest Idaho stay-at-home order BOISE, Idaho (AP) — More than 1,000 protesters gathered at the Idaho Statehouse Friday afternoon in defiance of Gov. Brad Little’s extension of the statewide stay-at-home order. Little announced Wednesday that the order would extend to the end of April in the effort to slow the spread of coronavirus, although he lightened some restrictions so nonessential businesses could begin providing curbside service. Still, the news was met with derision by some members of the farright in Idaho, and some libertarian, gun-rights and anti-vaccine organizations began directing members to defy the order. The Idaho Freedom Foundation, a libertarian think tank and lobbying group, emblazoned its social media feeds with “Disobey Idaho” graphics and announced that it would host Friday’s rally along with Health Freedom Idaho and the Idaho Second Amendment Alliance. “I can’t get a haircut, but by golly I was able to walk into Pet Smart this morning and get my dog a grooming appointment. It defies logic,” said Wayne
Hoffman, president of the Idaho Freedom Foundation. “The damage that’s being done to the individuals, to businesses and the economy is horrific.” Hoffman said the governor should allow all businesses to open to give owners a chance to demonstrate that they can take appropriate steps to mitigate the risk. “I worry that if we don’t adapt our approach that we will continue to battle COVID-19 in incremental ways for weeks, months and years to come,” Hoffman said. “It’s like a lot of other variables that you have to deal with in the world -- people with all kinds of ailments come to your doors.” Most at the protest were standing shoulder-to-shoulder and not wearing masks. Some carried signs claiming the coronavirus is a hoax, while others held signs with slogans like, “All workers are essential” and “Freedom not fear.” The effect of the coronavirus on the economy has been dire. In Idaho, nearly 96,000 people have filed for unemployment since Little first declared a state of emergency on March 13. That’s far more than
Space crew touches down safely in Kazakhstan MOSCOW (AP) — A U.S.-Russian crew landed safely Friday in the steppes of Kazakhstan following a stint on the International Space Station and was greeted with extra precautions due to the coronavirus. NASA astronauts Jessica Meir and Andrew Morgan. and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Skripochka touched down as scheduled at 11:16 a.m. (0516 GMT) Friday. Their Soyuz capsule landed under a striped orangeand-white parachute about 150 kilometers (93 miles) southeast of Dzhezkazgan in central Kazakhstan. On Friday, Russia’s space corporation Roscosmos said it had 42 coronavirus cases and reported the first deaths. It said two workers who died had tested positive for the virus and another employee, who died of pneumonia, was suspected of having the infection. Russian officials said they took stringent measures to protect the crew members amid the pandemic. The recovery team and
medical personnel assigned to help the three out of the capsule and to perform post-flight checks were under close medical observation for nearly a month before the landing and were tested for the coronavirus. Roscosmos director Dmitry Rogozin said the three astronauts were feeling well. Morgan wrapped up a 272-day mission on his first flight into space. He conducted seven space walks, four of which were to improve and extend the life of the station’s Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, which looks for evidence of dark matter in the universe. Meir and Skripochka spent 205 days in space, with Meir carrying out the first three all-women spacewalks with crewmate Christina Koch, who returned from space in February. The crew members smiled as they talked to medical experts wearing masks. Following a quick checkup, they were flown by helicopter to Baikonur.
the number of claims filed in Idaho during all of 2019. Similar protests have been held across the country, with groups pushing back against stay-at-home orders in places like Michigan, Texas and Virginia. Dozens circled Oregon’s state Capitol in their vehicles Friday to protest that state’s stay-at-home order. In the southern Utah city of St. George, several dozen people protested Wednesday to show their displeasure with the closure of businesses. Organizer Larry Meyers said the event was to assert “God-given, constitutionally-protected rights,” the Spectrum newspaper reported. Protests were also planned for the weekend in Salt Lake City and Helena, Montana. The debate is not likely to end soon, with some health experts warning that returning to normal activity too early could lead to a resurgence of the virus. Meanwhile, tempers — and rhetoric — is escalating. In northern Idaho, Republican state Rep. Heather Scott referred to the governor as “Little Hitler” and compared the stay-at-home orders to Nazi Germany during the
Holocaust. “I mean, that’s no different than Nazi Germany, where you had government telling people, ‘You are an essential worker or a nonessential worker,’ and the nonessential workers got put on a train,” Scott told Houston-based podcast host Jess Fields in the interview posted online Thursday. Local human rights advocates called Scott’s remarks offensive, The Spokesman-Review reported. “Mass murder and genocide is not the same thing as deciding which businesses should essentially stay open and which should stay closed,” Rabbi Tamar Malino of Spokane’s Temple Beth Shalom said. More than 1,600 Idaho residents have COVID-19, according to a tally by Johns Hopkins University. At least 41 Idahoans have died. For most people, the coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough, that clear up in two to three weeks. But it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia, and death for some people, especially older adults and people with existing health problems.
Lawmakers seek hearing to approve coronavirus aid SALEM (AP) — Oregon lawmakers are looking to convene a special remote hearing to approve tens of millions of dollars of aid to those affected by the coronavirus outbreak, including hospitals, rentals and workers. Oregon Public Broadcasting reports top lawmakers in both parties say they anticipate the Legislature’s Emergency Board will meet next week to allocate tens of millions of dollars in emergency funds as the state awaits federal stimulus payments. Items likely to be up for consideration, majority Democrats said, include direct assistance for renters, additional resources for homeless services and domestic violence prevention, help for small businesses and money for people awaiting unemployment insurance. “We’re gonna deal with some of the things that we think have got to move now,” Senate President Peter Courtney, D-Salem, said Wednesday. “There’s some real emergencies out there.” The Emergency Board, which has the power to allocate state funds when the Legislature is not in session, has around $50 million to work with. House Speaker Tina Kotek, D-Portland, said Thursday she hoped to leave around $20 million in the fund to address wildfires and other hazards. By contrast, the state is expecting roughly $1.6 billion in additional federal funds to help combat the pandemic. Top Republicans said early Thursday they were still awaiting a draft agenda.
DEQ fines Albany company for mishandling hazardous waste ALBANY (AP) — The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality has fined a manufacturer of parts for the aerospace industry near Albany more than $70,000 for citations related to its mishandling of hazardous waste materials. A Selmet company spokesman did not return an email seeking comment, The Albany Democrat-Herald reported. An agency letter says Selmet was penalized for failing to determine if wastes generated at the titanium parts manufacturing facility were hazardous on two occasions. Selmet was also cited but not fined for 12 violations of hazardous waste, used oil and universal waste management regulations. Other violations included transporting totes of waste
fixer solution, weighing more than 25,000 pounds in one instance, to a disposal site in Washington as a non-hazardous material, state officials said. Selmet also failed to designate the waste as hazardous on its hazardous waste manifest, according to officials. State officials noted that Selmet has significantly expanded production and the facility footprint since the agency’s last inspection in 2016, but has also decreased resources to the environmental health and safety department. The state agency has labeled the company a “significant noncomplier,” because it reportedly has “not completed all the requested corrective actions” based on a pre-enforcement notice filed with the company in September.

%ŕś‹ŕś‚ŕľ˝ŕś€ŕľž When the Senior Life Master arrived to give another class, there was a considerable hubbub in the room. When the noise had subsided, the SLM began: “I sense that the warm weather has given you renewed energy. Perhaps some of you will start playing tennis. All tennis players are told to keep their eyes firmly locked on the ball. A similar recommendation should be made to bridge players. Don’t take your eyes off the cards ... or the tricks.
“Look at the first deal on my sheets. For the moment, you can see only the North and East hands. After a simple Stayman sequence to four hearts, West leads the diamond two to your ace. How would you continue?� The SLM paused for a minute, then continued. “The natural reaction is to give partner a diamond ruff. But that produces only three tricks: the diamond ace, the diamond ruff and the heart king. What will be your fourth winner? If partner has a black-suit ace, there will be no problems. But if declarer has both of those aces, maybe the contract is now unbeatable. “At trick two, you should shift to a spade, hoping to establish the fourth trick. The diamond ruff can wait. “Now turn over to see the full deal. Note that if East returns a diamond at trick two, declarer wins West’s return and immediately plays the ace and another heart to succeed. But a spade switch establishes the king as a winner. South cannot discard dummy’s spade loser on the club ace, because he doesn’t have a hand entry. “Always keep an eye on your target: the number of tricks needed to make or break the contract.�

Many of the homeless ‘are home’ ADAM ROBERTSON The World
COOS BAY – Don Ford, a minister at Harmony United Methodist Church, is known for his work helping the Bay Area’s homeless community. The homeless camp he operates is the culmination of nearly 30 years of helping those in need. Ford has been involved in the ministry since the early ‘90’s. To his recollection, he’s always been part of the United Methodist Church but got a call to join the ministry while living in Colorado. He began working with the homeless in Pagosa Springs in 1999. He said there was a need to help those living in poverty there and the church started a fund for community projects. One of these projects was the Pagosa Outreach Connection, which brought faith-based groups, local government, and other organizations together to provide help to those in need. “More of us together can do more than one entity could,” he said of the group’s mindset. He’s also helped with programs that guide people from poverty to self-sufficiency. Ford remembered they would try to have participants understand the mindset of the other side, with those living in poverty thinking about a middle class lifestyle and middle class people thinking what it’s like to live in poverty.
“They do think differently,” he said. “So one needs to understand how another class of people think and do things, and the reasons they do things, to understand them more.” Ford began teaching classes across the country to help people understand those living in poverty, eventually settling in Washington State. He and his wife lived there for about three years, working on similar programs in the area. From there, they came to Coos Bay. Ford said he saw the need for programs to help the homeless, or those living in poverty, and decided to work to start the camp. Since then, the camp has only grown and improved. Ford said it’s gratifying to know he has the support of the church and city, as well as the police and other partner organizations, for his activities. He added that he can’t say whether he’s making a difference in people’s lives, but that he’s living what he believes. He’s loving God and others, and reaching out to help those in need. Ford added it’s been great to see everyone coming together to help each other during the COVID-19 pandemic. He said he wishes it didn’t take a global health crisis to accomplish, but added that something good can come out of something bad. “It’s a great, gratifying thing,” he said of the recent outpouring of goodwill.
Ed Glazar, The World
Tents in a temporary homeless camp in November 2019 outside of the Harmony United Methodist Church in Coos Bay.
Ford recalled there’s lots of profiling and misconceptions about the homeless, or those living in poverty. He said his experience has been that most people are living in poverty because of circumstances beyond their control. He has met widows who lost everything when their spouse passed, people who were laid off from work or live on very limited income just trying to make ends meet, and people who
have never known any other option for how to live. Ford also recalled hearing people say homeless should ‘go back where they came from’ and accusations of people coming from outside the area. He countered that, in his experience, many of the homeless in the Bay Area are locals. “I started taking a survey and 40% of people in this camp
are born and raised and from Coos County,” he said. “So that doesn’t necessarily mean ‘make everybody go home,’ because a lot of them are home.” Ford stressed that he isn’t doing any of this for praise or any similar accolades. He said he believes helping the less fortunate is the right thing to do, and something he’s drawn to do with his faith.

Nature Guide Journal: Nature journaling By Marty Giles Keeping a nature journal is a worthy endeavor at any time of the year, but it’s especially compelling when the outdoor world is so vibrant and inviting. (Take note, parents, grandparents, and caregivers: Nature journaling is a great activity for kids!) No special materials or equipment are needed, save your observation skills and a bit of thinking, plus paper and pencil. And you don’t even need a whole lot of “nature.” Even the smallest spaces and most unassuming environments are fertile ground for nature journaling. From the spider’s web under the building eave to the smallest “weeds” in a sidewalk crack to the drifting formation of clouds we watch outside a window, things that seem the most mundane can become most interesting when observed closely.
In the simplest form, a nature journal is a record of field notes, usually including the date, time, and specific location of the entry; weather and other timely notations are also standard elements. A journal doesn’t have to have complete sentences. All senses can come into play for observations. How would you describe the smell of a warm marsh on a summer’s day? Just how rough is cedar bark? Your journal can also include records of your thoughts or feelings about those observations, prompting entries of a more personal, inner sort. Journals can take on any scope or subject. Entries can focus on small details (such as the date of spying the spring’s first swallow or an inventory of the plants in a square foot of ground), larger patterns or processes (describing a line of bird-planted cherry trees growing along a fence line,
perhaps), or track changes over time (such as how a plant community re-establishes over a burned or cleared area). Finding you have a bit of time on your hands? Nature observation can be intermittent -- at regular intervals for tracking big patterns, or continual -- for a prolonged time to give yourself plenty of opportunity to catch fine points or watch subtle changes. (Watching a cloud develop or dissipate is an excellent example of the latter.) The remarkable is easy to note in such journals, but sometimes observing the ordinary brings more surprises and reveal profound patterns. For example, diaries of when which flowers first bloom each year in specific locations have given us tangible records of subtle climate shifts. Reviewing your journal may illuminate patterns you didn’t notice in the field, patterns that can in
turn produce new questions or topics to explore. For topnotch nature explorations and journal entries, attend to small details, seek patterns, change perspectives, pursue the bigger pictures, and ask questions. In science, good questions are as valuable as good answers: questions that arise while you make observation or review your journal should be recorded, too. You may find the answers in later observations or during your next trip to the library. Making observations with the intent to record or retell is the power of nature journaling because details or processes must be keenly observed and thoughtfully verbalized in order to write them down. The mental process of capturing what we observe improves our observations; improved observations then lead to more interesting questions -- and,
The Chamber Minute: Join Leadership Coos
TIMM SLATER
Bay Area Chamber of Commerce
Were you aware of the many opportunities for good live theater and music productions in our area? Did you know that Coos County is Oregon’s leading producer of cranberries? Have you ever wondered what a
city councilor ready does? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in the Chamber’s Leadership Coos program. Leadership Coos is an excellent way to see the total picture of what this area is about. Whether you have lived here all your life or just arrived in Oregon’s Bay Area, in the nine months of Leadership Coos you will learn facts, find services and discover opportunities you never knew existed. You also share time with a diverse group of professionals who make up your class, those giving presentations and the Leadership Coos committee members
who were always on hand to direct the process. One day per month from September through May participants attend seminars, tours and briefings which show them the issues and opportunities within our community and challenge them to become involved in the political or community organizations that match their interest. Monthly subjects, for example, range from Natural Resources & Agriculture, the historic foundation of our economy, to How we are Governed, from the city to the federal level, to Living in the Bay Area—talking about arts, entertainment and rec-
reation, and many more topic areas. Leadership Coos looks to graduate its 31st class next month, assuming some type of “normal” returns to our daily lives. We will also be looking ahead, in August, to forming the 2020-2021 class. With the new insights each one gains through Leadership Coos, we encourage all participants to put their talents into action for our community, as many of the over 800 program alumni already have. So, if this sounds interesting to you, give us a call today and we will get you on the list. Remember our business is helping your business. And like us on Facebook.
ultimately, to a fuller understanding of what we observe. Nature journals often expand past written words, including photographs, drawings, tracing, or rubbings. And nature journals are terrific springboards for other writing, such as essays, poems, or letters, or to inspire graphic art. And, no, you don’t have to feel obliged to share your journal: If you’re shy about your writing or your drawing, don’t fret! You can keep it all for yourself. Are your pencil and paper ready? For information on how you can arrange your own exploration of our fascinating natural history, contact Marty at 541/267-4027, mgiles@wavecrestdiscoveries.com, or www. facebook.com/wavecrestdiscoveries . Questions and comments about local natural history are welcome. www.wavecrestdiscoveries. com.
Don’t know where to begin? Ask! Then write down the answer. Here are a few questions to get you started - and keep you going: Short term • What catches my eye here? (When I sit on my stoop or look out the window?) • Why did I notice that? (movement? color? form?) • What’s different about? • How is this flower/ leaf/tree/rock/ different from the one next to it? • How is this place different from that place? Why is it different? (Take a guess!) Long term • Pick something that intrigues you that you can repeatedly observe and document. (What birds are in my feeder between noon and 12:15pm each day? What about between 5pm and 5:15pm?)

EVERYDAY CHEAPSKATE
DILBERT
BY MARY HUNT
Get Financially Fit With Good Habits Personal character is made of habits. Bad ones seem to just happen, while good habits are usually the result of considerable effort. Some people act as if their habits were issued at birth and are not likely to ever change. There are a select few, however, who know and live by the truth: It is possible to learn good habits and unlearn bad ones, no matter how ingrained or deep-seated. It’s all a matter of choice. The secret of learning good habits or breaking bad ones is found in conscious repetition fueled by knowledge, skill and motivation. One must repeat an action over and over and over until it becomes a natural response -- a habit. To become more financially responsible, follow these seven habits, repeating them over and over until they become natural responses: Habit 1: Financially responsible people regularly balance their checkbook and online accounts. They calculate a current balance after every transaction. Yes, after every transaction! Habit 2: Financially responsible people think first and spend later. Thinking first means determining ahead of time whether the purchase is necessary or prudent. It means waiting. It means seeking out the best deal and being willing to THE FAMILY CIRCUS walk away if necessary. Habit 3: Financially responsible people save money consistently. They simply do not spend all the money they have. Financially responsible people save money first, before they pay everyone else. Saving is a long-term process, and, if necessary, sacrifices are made to achieve their savings goals. Habit 4: Financially responsible people don’t see the monthly payment but focus instead on the total price tag. These folks see through the marketing tactics and zero in on the true cost and bottom line. Habit 5: Financially responsible people know precisely their financial condition. They usually know within a few bucks the current balance on their mortgage or other secured loans. They are keenly aware of and regularly update their net worth, and they habitually make each financial move in light of the effect it will have on their net worth. Habit 6: Financially responsible people refuse to live under the fantasy of entitlement. They are not driven to keep up with their family, friends and neighbors. They are content to live joyfully within the limitations of their means. Habit 7: Financially responsible people’s actions are based on principles, not feelings. This compels them to pay their bills on time; to deal fairly and honestly with people; to give generously; and to restrain their compelling desires and find contentment in the things that really matter. Becoming financially responsible is a process. In my case, it was a long process. I sabotaged myself for many years, convinced I could never change. But I was wrong. I have changed and continue to make progress MODERATELY CONFUSED every single day. And you can, too. I would consider it a privilege to walk the path of financial responsibility with you.

Restoration halted by virus PARIS (AP) — Notre Dame Cathedral stands crippled and alone, locked in a dangerous web of warped scaffolding one year after a cataclysmic fire gutted its interior, toppled its famous spire and horrified the world. Some of the 40,000 metal bars — erected for an earlier renovation project — melted in the intense blaze on April 15, 2019. The unstable scaffolding now endangers the Gothic jewel that for many embodies the soul of France. The restoration of the landmark from the 12th and 13th centuries has been halted and the workers sent home because of France’s coronavirus lockdown that began March 17, thwarting plans to start removing the 250 tons of scaffolding. So even Notre Dame has been left in isolation by the pandemic that has affected so many people across France. The 13-ton bell in the south tower, named Em-
manuel, that traditionally rings on solemn occasions will sound at 8 p.m. Wednesday, joining the nightly rounds of applause for overstretched health workers. On Good Friday, Paris Archbishop Michel Aupetit led an exceptional but tiny gathering inside the church, at the foot of the huge golden cross that remains intact. “Today, we stand in this half-fallen cathedral to say that life is still here,” Aupetit said in the televised ceremony. The gathering in the fragile church was meant to raise the spirits of a nation in distress. “The message of hope is especially important for our compatriots at a time when we are particularly affected by the coronavirus, which is sowing anguish and death,” the archbishop told reporters. There was no Easter service and no formal plans to mark the anniversary of the fire. But the musicians of Notre Dame have created a virtual homage to their beloved cathedral with a performance from their homes of an extract of J.S. Bach’s “St. John Passion.”
“As long as we have this scaffolding around, there’s still sort of a 50% chance that more damage can be (caused) to the cathedral,” said Notre Dame chaplain Brice de Malherbe, who last year was evacuated from his home next door as flames engulfed the roof. He recalled his worst moment that night: “When one had the impression that the fire was (subsiding) and suddenly it resumed in one of the towers.” Yet, Notre Dame remained standing, still surveying the French capital from the island in the Seine, its two familiar bell towers partially eaten from within by flames but their heavy stones apparently only blackened on the outside. French President Emmanuel Macron reiterated Wednesday his desire to see the cathedral reopen its giant doors in time for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. “We will do everything to keep this deadline,” he said in a tweeted video, thanking firefighters and rescue workers for extinguishing the blaze and saving lives.
Notre Dame “is a symbol of our resilience, our capacity to overcome challenges and stand aright,” Macron said. But progress has been delayed by setbacks, from the discovery of toxic dust from the melted lead roof and spire to the health and safety demands of the pandemic. Officials hope the scaffolding can be removed by the fall. Then, stones must be analyzed to see which need to be replaced. Debris and huge ancient beams that burned like kindling must be cleared from the soaring vaults, Malherbe said. An umbrella structure will then be built to protect the site, which is now surrounded by high barricades. For one fervent devotee of Notre Dame, the barricades, which replaced a smaller barrier, symbolize her loss, and the virus spreading across France and the world. “Notre Dame is confined. I couldn’t throw a bouquet of flowers over to her,” said Cecile Deleville, who had tossed one over the lower fencing in December. “It’s as though they took that away, too.”
The 67-year-old retiree dared to take her first look at the cathedral a day after the fire, along with reporters from The Associated Press. She said at the time that she felt like an orphan. Now, she fears she won’t see Notre Dame reborn in her lifetime. Deleville worries that the reconstruction will fall by the wayside as France tries to rebuild its economy once the virus crisis has been overcome. Those in charge of returning Notre Dame to its original splendor are still at work, despite being locked down. The cathedral “has been gravely injured, undeniably so,” Jean-Louis Georgelin, a retired army general appointed by Macron to head the restoration project, said in an interview with the Catholic publication Le Pelerin. But it has resisted thermal shock from the fire, water from hoses that drenched it for days, the summer heat and high winds, he said, adding that sensors installed to read any movement of the structure have picked up nothing notable. Donations large and
small are helping to pay for the restoration, with 188 million euros received, Georgelin told the daily Le Parisien. Some 400 million euros ($437 million) have been promised by the Total oil company and French tycoons Francois Pinault and Bernard Arnault of the luxury giant LVMH. But it was the modest donations, mainly from people in France and the United States, that covered the initial costs. On Wednesday, Germany offered to help rebuild some of the large clerestory windows located far above eye level. The German government said three glass-makers that conduct restoration work for cathedrals in Germany could offer “great expertise” to their French colleagues. A timeline for the reconstruction may need to be redrawn to account for the virus lockdown. What also is unclear is what the new spire will look like. Will it be a copy of architect Eugene-Emmanuel Viollet-le-Duc’s 19th century creation in lead that soared (315 feet) high, or be a contemporary version?
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — Three Southern California churches that want to keep their doors open during the coronavirus outbreak sued Gov. Gavin Newsom and other officials on Monday, arguing that social distancing orders violate the First Amendment right to freedom of religion and assembly. The suit, filed in the federal court for the Central District of California, also names state Attorney General Xavier Becerra and
officials of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. The suit seeks to block Newsom’s month-old stay-at-home order and two county orders designed to slow the spread of COVID-19 by having people mostly stay at home, closing businesses except for those deemed essential and barring group gatherings. The orders don’t list houses of worship among the critical infrastructure where face-to-face contact is permitted.
A message to the governor’s office seeking comment was not immediately returned. The suit names three churches in San Bernardino and Riverside counties, east of Los Angeles. One plaintiff, James Moffatt, senior pastor at Church Unlimited in Indio, was fined $1,000 for violating Riverside County’s order by holding a Palm Sunday service, according to the lawsuit. Moffatt “believes that
Scripture commands him as a pastor to lay hands on people and pray for them, this includes the sick,” the suit said. “Moffatt also believes that he is required by Scripture to baptize individuals, something that cannot be done at an online service.” Also named are a parishioner and the head pastor of Shield of Faith Family Church in Fontana and the senior pastor of Word of Life Ministries International in Riverside, which
usually has 20 to 30 regular attendees, according to the suit. The churches argue that the state and local orders are overly broad and that they can practice safe social distancing in the same manner as grocery stores and other outlets that are considered essential services and allowed to remain open. “The state does not get to dictate the method of worship to the faithful,” said Harmeet K. Dhillon,
chief executive of the Center for American Liberty, a California nonprofit organization that filed the suit. The lawsuit argues that the orders are unconstitutionally broad. “If a Californian is able to go to Costco or the local marijuana shop or liquor store and buy goods in a responsible, socially distanced manner, then he or she must be allowed to practice their faith using the same precautions,” she said in a statement.
